Hello,
I have a application written in C++ where I have just changed the MQ API to XMS. Compiling and linking the works fine and using the dll on a testserver works fine (no errors when registering the dll).
However, when trying to put this in production I got an error. When checking the Event log, the following can be found:
Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\IBM\XMS\bin\gxi.dll. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.
I do have installed XMS at the location indicated.
I am not that good at these things and would therefor really appreciate any help I can get. If you need more info from me, just let me know

| If you are "not that good at these things", open a PMR. |

Or ask someone who is good at these things.

This would seem to be contradicted by:

If you're sure XMS is installed and installed correctly by whoever did it in production then I endorse the comments of my most worthy associates. A PMR will bring you IBM advice, another source of possible assistance would be the Windows admins responsible for the production box and/or any .NET development / deployment staff at your site.
There could be a configuration step your local environment requires. I've seen sites where the Windows Registry is reset to an "approved" state by a script on a regular basis. Aside from the inherent dangers of this strategy, something similar could be de-registering the "unknown" dll.
But I suspect it's as simple as XMS is correctly installed on your test machine, and incorrectly installed in production.

Thanks for the replies.
Read somewhere that I might need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package to get it to work. (the server where the dll should run do not have Visual Studio installed)
Any input on this?

Where? It's not in the documented list of pre-reqs for XMS.
Which indicates that the XMS installation will fail without them, touching back to my earlier point on an installation issue.

XMS is not an install in a stand alone environment. You need to have the MQ Client (or server) installed if that is not yet the case.

XMS requires MQ C Client to be installed if your connecting to a MQ Queue manager. XMS also provides connectivity to Default Messaging engine of WebSphere Application Server. If you are connecting to the Default Messaging Engine, then MQ C Client is not required.
The issue could be because of a dll that XMS depends on. It could be the C runtime dlls. This link might be helpful: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jreddy/archive/2005/12/23/507107.aspx |
